I know I was only at the Day Job half a week but it somehow seems like I did just as much work. Meh. But it’s Friday! And I’m out in a minute to a lovely dinner. Reposting, as a reminder: Come see Jay and me at a reading and book signing party on Saturday, […]

So on Tuesday I was writing, trying to get a quick 1,000 words in while unpacking and repacking and all that nonsense before leaving for Jane_o_Trades’ wedding Wednesday. And I had already mentioned to Jay that I was starting to get annoyed at the main character in OUR LADY OF THE ISLANDS, and starting to

1. Oh! Looky! How awesome is that?! 2. Back to work today. Meh. 3. On the other hand, getting back to yoga was a thing of awesomeness. 4. Go here first, to see how most of my WorldCon went. Where my experience differs is that: I had less programming, so I slept in a bit

Tired. Have I mentioned how much I hate flying? I mean, I know travel is worth it, and that’s why I do it, but…yeah.

WorldCon is fun! And busy! And I have to leave in 10 minutes. Yesterday was a blur of sessions and parties and food and absinthe (thanks jackwilliambell!). I’m not even going to attempt to list who-all I met, because I would leave out way too many people, and that would be wrong. Highlights include: Jay
Safe in Montreal. Loooong day so far–up at 3am after a really wretched “night’s” sleep, to the airport, to Denver, to Montreal. I read a whole book; Jay started a collaborative story (I love that effortless writing). So, what should we do now to rest up for the big convention ahead? To save our strength?

Wow. Getting up at 3am. I can’t believe I’ve actually agreed to that. Anyway! All packed, except for the computer, which will go in as soon as I’ve posted this. Anything else I’ve forgotten will just be left behind. And it’s off to WorldCon! See everyone there who’s there, and the rest of you back
